Caledonia man pinned by garbage trucks, killed

A Caledonia man was killed Friday afternoon when he was pinned between two garbage trucks in Leicester, Livingston County.

A garbage truck pulled over on Route 39 around 1:56 p.m. Friday to unload an overloaded garbage bin. Timothy Gorton, 25, who was operating a second garbage truck, stopped to help and pulled up behind the first truck facing the opposite direction, State Police said.

After Gorton exited his truck and started to help, he was pinned between the two trucks. Police believe he left his truck in reverse.
